Search results for query: what oil

Hi guys. Have another build on the go. This time a 360 LA 72 block. Without all the details, some brief history is as follows. 10.5:1 KB, all new and machined parts. Block is one that I've had kicking around for some 10+ years. Originally it had 8:1 and mild cam. Was a short block for sure as...

This is what I was thinking, but now that I have my first trap door pan, I don't know how the oil around the pick up may act under hard acceleration. The car carries the wheels up about a whole foot, and then comes down quick, so oil is not always out back. I mean, with a regular deep sump 7 Qt...

So what brand of oil do you use in you engines? I use the Joe Gibbs DRIVEN HR-2 High Zinc 10W-30 and it seems to be good. What do y'all think? Just some pics of my love to enjoy while we discuss this =P

What would be an acceptable sealant to lock the screw in oil pick up tube? Mine is not tight when it is in its proper location. Going another 330 degrees around isn't really going to work either, well, it could, but, the short block assembly, timing cover and water pump housing are all in...

67 charger Can someone tell me what to search for/buy if I need to replace the bushings on the end of the center link/drag link (whatever the correct name is). I have to drop it to put a new gasket on my oil pan. I’ve searched and found things that look right but nothing that specifically says...

I also ordered same pan. What windage tray you use? I have stock and source440, they dont fit

Very strange. Do you see more oil coming out of the rockers when priming since changing the timing set? I’m curious about what you used for a button. Some sit on the front of the gear, some fit in the hole but are stepped, and the step sits on the gear, others fit in the hole and are bottomed...

You oil the parts after doing the black oxide process. After the oxide absorbs the oil you wipe off the excess, but they really don’t feel oily if that’s what you’re asking.

Well I went to order it it asked if you want oily or dry . I ordered dry and I read your earlier response.

I need the measurement of the engne oil dipstick tube from where it goes into the block to the top of the tube. Also, what is the distance from the full mark on the dipstick to the rim of the dipstick that rests on top of the tube? Thank you, Mrs. 69/70 Plymies

Hi, first post here and first older Mopar :) I have a noise, a ticking/knocking noise when i drive, specially during cruise at around 30-50mph. What could this be? I have enough oil in it, 20w50. Sounds harder in the video than in real life, but it resembles that of a lifter problem. Quiet when...

What might be happening here is the additive, a compound containing Zinc, does break down, but the element zinc does not leave, except by what might be found in the filter or at an oil change.

I'll assume the following; The cam bearing holes are lined up so oil is getting to the shafts. The shafts are installed with the oil holes down in the correct location. The adjuster ball/pushrod cup were the same size. The adjustment/pushrod length is correct allowing the adjuster 2 threads out...

To add more cooking oil to the fire, here's another mention. LOL. I can see this whole thing turning into a food for thought fight. LOL. NO NO NO!!!!! 1/4" is way too tight. Please don't set it to that. 3/8" min. 1/2" max. I shoot for 7/16" sure 1/8", 1/4" etc will work, but here's what...

Yes, I understand, BUT pouring a little oil in a filter is not "filling it". You can't fill a filter on a BB Mopar. And I haven't done so in 55 years. Not sure what difference that would make anyway.

What do you mean? Like you can't technically fill it 100%?

Benchracing every topic possible is what this forum is all about. But we just may be overthinking this one a touch, FMJ. It makes sense to me that deeper the pan is, and the more oil it carries, the further away from the bottom of the pan the pickup can safely be. The extra 1/8” also gives...

If we really wanted to, we could criticize each other's cars until we're 6 feet under, including what the best brand of oil is, points or electronic, or what the correct degree of gloss is on a motor mount bolt head. If someone has their car looking a certain way, it's because that's the way...

skipped to the last post , I HAVE NEVER HAD EITHER GO BAD ...ran whatever kind of oil that small time sponsors would finish in the old hemi car , all 40 or 50 weight ...all kinds in the SBC, and a few diff in the 505 , now synthetic...

I thought it was only advised for only higher spring rate applications in rollers but exactly what that it is I dont know.
